Her playful three-year-old niece has already stolen the show once.

And for Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden, who celebrated her 40th birthday yesterday, the limelight was whipped away from her again today - this time by her son, Prince Oscar.

The waddling one-year-old delighted crowds of people in front of Solliden Palace in Borgholm, Sweden, as he and his family met members of the public on the second day of royal celebrations.

Stealing the limelight: Her playful three-year-old niece has already stolen the show once. And for Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden (pictured with her fist in the air), who celebrated her 40th birthday yesterday, the limelight was whipped away from her again today - this time by her son, Prince Oscar (in her arms next to Princess Estelle, centre, and Prince Daniel, far left)

Not in the mood: Although Prince Oscar's grumpy face (left) may not have been in keeping with his mother and sister's dazzling smiles, his sky-blue waistcoat and white shirt complemented the ladies' outfits. Her daughter, Princess Estelle, five, was on her best behaviour as she posed for the cameras in a lovely floral dress to matched her mother's colour choice

Mother-of-two, Princess Victoria, looked radiant in a sky-blue shirt dress, complete with pretty pleats and a bow around the waist.

Her daughter, Princess Estelle, five, was on her best behaviour as she posed for the cameras in a lovely floral dress to matched her mother's colour choice.

Although Prince Oscar's somewhat grumpy face may not have been in keeping with his mother and sister's dazzling smiles, his sky-blue waistcoat and white shirt complemented the ladies' outfits.

Fun in the sun: Princess Victoria's husband, Prince Daniel, who wore a pale blue shirt under a beige double-breasted summer blazer, smiled and laughed as his family enjoyed the Swedish sunshine - and Oscar took time out to play in the flower beds

Princess Victoria's husband and the children's father, Prince Daniel, who wore a pale blue shirt under a beige double-breasted summer blazer, smiled and laughed as his family enjoyed the Swedish sunshine.

Prince Oscar could be seen pulling faces at onlookers and playing in the flowerbeds as he tired of his royal duties.

The family attended a thanksgiving service in Stockholm yesterday before travelling to Borgholm where Princess Victoria donned the colourful Swedish national dress for the Friday night celebrations.

Delighted: Sticking her tongue out, the playful toddler ran towards her waiting mother at yesterday's celebrations
